Unconfirmed reports indicate military plans target Iran’s power plants and refineries ahead of next week’s Asian market open.
The United States and Israel are reportedly coordinating potential strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure, including power plants and refineries, over the coming weekend. Sources indicate the plan was discussed during a Camp David meeting but final approval from the US president remains pending. Political aides within the White House have reportedly opposed the move, citing broader implications for risk sentiment in global markets.
The proposed campaign follows heightened tensions in the region, though an Israeli official denied knowledge of a decision to restart full military operations or a request to join US-led actions. Timing aligns with next week’s Asian market open, raising concerns about volatility in oil and equity markets.
No immediate market reaction was detailed, but analysts warn such actions could trigger a risk-off shift, particularly in energy and defense sectors.
